Industry Reviews
"'Light in August' is a powerful novel, a book which secures Mr. Faulkner's place in the front rank of American writers of fiction. He definitely has removed the objection made against him that he cannot lift his eyes above the dunghill. There are time when Mr. Faulkner is not unaware of the stars."
New York Times Book Review - J. Donald Adams (10/09/1932)
